More quotes by Wesley Snipes
I've come to the conclusion that beautiful women in the West aren't comfortable finding strength in their femininity. They want to do masculine-oriented things to establish their femininity. It's a contradiction.
Wesley Snipes
A lot of people now don't know I've been on Broadway.
Wesley Snipes
We're conditioned in this country to believe that if there's a problem, the black man is usually the culprit.
Wesley Snipes
I have a whole other side that has yet to be seen on screen.
Wesley Snipes
I was very short when I was little, so I probably had - and there may be a residue of it now - that Napoleon complex. Wanting to be as big and as powerful as the big guys.
Wesley Snipes
Internationally, I have as large of a fan base - if not larger - than I have domestically.
Wesley Snipes
You give Frost a message from me. You tell him it's open season on all suckheads.

People wanted to move to America because of Michael Jackson. Industry changed, the music industry changed, because of Michael Jackson. That's a gift to us, and, you know, I am concerned that the Good Lord may not send another one because we did not take good care of him.
Wesley Snipes
We should be able to go to our government and get clear answers.

There's a lot of great stuff on television and that's very appealing to actors who want to work, who do good quality and high quality work. But you're always concerned that the time demands on television will interrupt or interfere with your film work.
Wesley Snipes
In film you have the script months ahead of time often, for a good film, but in television it seems like you might not get the script until a week or two weeks before you've got to film it. It's a little weird, but also quite challenging. It reminds me of repertory theatre.
Wesley Snipes
I think I have kind of a natural magnetism.
Wesley Snipes
I never really planned on making action films. It just kind of happened.
Wesley Snipes
No one can train you to be famous. How do you deal with the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy? You have to be disciplined.
Wesley Snipes
Not everybody can do the comic book adaptation thing and make it believable. It is challenging.
Wesley Snipes
In the beginning, all I wanted to do was to be a singer and a dancer. That was my real groove, my real interest. When it came to doing films, my biggest goal was to do a commercial.
Wesley Snipes
Certain roles are more challenging than others, but I haven't come across one yet that I can't tackle.
Wesley Snipes
The first time I jumped from a plane, I screamed like a woman. I was two miles up and you could hear me clear as day. Now I love it.
Wesley Snipes
I've been trying to keep the private life private. Not being savvy or trained on how to do good interviews like a politician, I thought it was wiser to follow my mother's advice: If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all.
Wesley Snipes
I'm not looking at an action movie as something where I just jump around and look beautiful and show my muscles. Since there are so few people that do this and have that pedigree, people disregard their contribution.
